Military on the Mall

2005-05-08.

Looks like the armed forces was having some kind of expo on the National Mall today; there were tanks, F-16s, and various other cool hardware out on the grass. They were already packing up as I passed by on my way to the National Gallery, but I got these photos:

Update: A note from Tim; those aren’t real F-16’s, just collapsible mockups for shows such as this.

That wasn’t a real F-16. They made some mock-ups to roll around for show. The wings on real F-16s don’t fold up like that. I know, I worked ’em for 14 years. :) Still wish I could have been at the Mall for that one. Looked cool.
